蓋不法之隱慝、今已發動、但阻之者仍阻之、待阻之者既除於中、

因为那不法的隐意已经发动，只是现在有一个拦阻的，等到那拦阻的被除去，

因为那不法的隐秘已经运作，只是现在有一个阻挡的，要等到那阻挡的被除去才会发作，

因为那不法的隐秘已经运作，只是现在有一个阻挡的，要等到那阻挡的被除去才会发作，

其实那不法之徒的阴谋已经在酝酿中，然而现在有一位在拦阻他。等到拦阻他的那位一离开，

因为那不法的潜力已经发动，只是现在有一个箝制他的在那里，直等到那箝制解除了，

其实这不法的奥秘已经在做工，只是要等到那现在拦阻他的不在其中，

因為那不法的隱意已經發動，只是現在有一個攔阻的，等到那攔阻的被除去，

因為那不法的隱祕已經運作，只是現在有一個阻擋的，要等到那阻擋的被除去才會發作，

因為那不法的隱祕已經運作，只是現在有一個阻擋的，要等到那阻擋的被除去才會發作，

其實那不法之徒的陰謀已經在醞釀中，然而現在有一位在攔阻他。等到攔阻他的那位一離開，

因為那不法的潛力已經發動，只是現在有一個箝制他的在那裡，直等到那箝制解除了，

那不法之「祕密」是已在運用動力的。不過這必須等那現在還抑制他的從中間被處置了，

其實這不法的奧祕已經在做工，只是要等到那現在攔阻他的不在其中，

蓋不法之隱慝已萌、惟今有阻之者、迨其見除時、

其隱慝始萌、今有所阻、後無扞格、

蓋其不法之隱圖、已在醞釀、惟尚有為之阻礙者、故其一時未能遽發；一俟阻礙見除、

凡神不認主耶穌成人身而誕降者、則非由天主、此乃敵基督者之神、從二節起或作感於天主之神有可徵焉凡自言感於神者認耶穌基督成人身誕降則由天主也凡自言感於神者不主耶穌成人身而誕降則非由天主乃由敵基督者也爾素聞必至者、今已在世矣、

有名書於其額、曰、隱秘、大邑巴比倫、或作有奧名書於其額曰巴比倫大邑世之諸淫婦及可憎者之母、

蓋我知我去後、必有殘酷之狼、入爾曹中、不惜其群、

彼眾之言、如毒瘡漸散於身、其中有若許米乃、腓理徒、彼眾迷失正道、言復活之事已過、致傾覆數人之信、

大哉虔敬之奧妙、無人不以為然、天主假人身顯著、因神而稱義、為天使所見、被傳於異邦人、見信於天下、而升於榮光、
